“Walk for Peace”: Citizens in Rwanda Walked Together to Spread a Culture of Peace

Marking the 6th Annual Commemoration of the Declaration of World Peace, the commemorative was held in Kigali of Rwanda on July 3rd.

In attendance with citizens, students, and Journalists, the participants joined the “Peace Letter Campaign” and the “Peace Walk” to promote a culture of peace in Rwanda.

The “Peace Letter Campaign” is a worldwide youth-led campaign that aims to urge for the support for the establishment of an international legal framework for a sustainable peace based on the Declaration of Peace and Cessation of War (DPCW).

The participants also wrote letters to the President of Rwanda to call for the support for the DPCW in order to develop it into a legally binding document by submitting it as a resolution to the UN. And the letters will be delivered to President after the event. At the end of the event, they set out for the peace walk.

The event was hosted by an international peace NGO called Heavenly Culture, World Peace, Restoration of Light (HWPL) and its youth organization, International Peace Youth Group (IPYG).
